Fine! I'll do it. But if I come on and play such a blinder that no one is happy to have anyone else but me in the squad, and every other footballer starts attending our matches to see me in action to learn just what a true footballing god is, I don't want you complaining about all the real fans...

Argus Reporting it's his quad Florin Andone is a major doubt for next Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final at Millwall after pulling out injured in the warm-up. Replacement Glenn Murray put Albion ahead with his 100th league goal for the club. Hughton said: "He (Andone) felt his quad. Sometimes if...

I have trouble sometimes, too. But Icy was right. I don't agree with the people who feel like a) it is a choice between continued FA cup success or premier league survival b) relegation would be the end of our story.

I don't think you understand football. If we get relegated, we will lose every semi-decent player in the squad, then despite shipping them all out go broke because of premier league contracts, and will be automatically relegated to league one, like Sunderland.

Oh crap. That's not a sign he's going to Leicester, he is clearly under attack by vampires and this is his call for help. He's clearly trying to type 'Nosferatu' and being attacked before he can finish it! He seems to have forgotten he is not holding the cross! Someone call the Frog Brothers!

I'm not criticising Hughton for it. My point when I started this way back, was let's not worry too much about Dunk and Murray's availability for leicester based on their absence v Derby. I will be very surprised if they are not fit for leicester (barring fresh injuries or illnesses, of course)...

Oh, you're not that dumb. You know exactly what I'm saying. Clearly other people in the thread understand it with the references to Giggs. Some managers feel the need to justify their team selection when they play fringe players/youth/second team, to keep everyone happy about them taking the cup...

Which is kinda my point. These are the sorts of injuries that happen to important players managers don't want to risk in the cup games, but can't come out and say 'look, they're really important to our league efforts, a cup run would be nice, but not at the expense of the league, I'd rather not...

At the risk of CJ attacking me, I suspect the injuries to Murray and Dunk are the sort of injuries that frequently affect important players in the build up to cup games, then clear up just in time for the next league game.

That sounds very glib. But again, no. When americans say 'I could care less' they mean couldn't care less. They are not deliberately trying to mislead, but the literal translation of what their saying is the opposite. When Hughton says 'Bissouma won't be out for a period of time' he means he...

Cool your jets, CJ. I'm not accusing him of lying. I'm pointing out his turn of phrases, and how they don't stand up to literal interpretation, much like the inappropriate use of 'I could care less' by a lot of Americans.

You know how some Americans use the phrase 'I could care less' when they actually mean they couldn't care less... I'm wondering if Hughton is part American. Gross was out for a number of games. That number was 8. Even at the Southampton game it was believed he would be out at least 1. as others...
